When you hear “facial rejuvenation,” you might think “surgery.” But while surgery is a good option for some, it’s not the only choice for those seeking a fresher, more youthful appearance. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments have come a long way in recent years, offering remarkable results with a much easier recovery.
Here are some of the top non-surgical treatments we suggest for patients who want to revitalize their look without incisions.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® is practically a household name – and for good reason! For skin rejuvenation, Ormond Beach residents love using BOTOX® to relax their facial muscles. Doing so eases the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions.
Some of the most common areas to use BOTOX® are between the eyebrows, the outside of the eyes, and around the mouth. It’s very effective at erasing frown lines between the eyebrows that can make you look grumpy. When used to reduce crow’s feet, BOTOX® can even make your eyes look younger. And younger eyes certainly make for a more refreshed overall look.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is one of the best injectables for patients dealing with a general loss of skin tone and structure. This FDA-approved treatment stimulates your skin to produce more collagen, a protein that gives skin its smooth, elastic texture. Collagen production tends to diminish with age, so facial rejuvenation treatments that boost collagen, like Sculptra®, can essentially turn back the clock.
Most patients start seeing results about a month after Sculptra® injections, and the results can last up to two years! We especially love using Sculptra® in the cheek region and along the jawline, but we craft an individualized treatment plan for every client.
JUVÉDERM®
Hyaluronic acid is another compound found naturally in your skin. It helps give your skin a plush, full texture. Like collagen, it often becomes depleted with age, which contributes to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® is a family of injectables that contain hyaluronic acid. When it comes to injectables, Ormond Beach clients often opt for JUVÉDERM® because of its low risk of side effects and its powerful ability to erase static wrinkles – the lines and creases that remain visible even when the face is relaxed.
When injected into the upper portions of the face, JUVÉDERM® helps soften your look, fill in fine lines, and erase forehead folds. JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA, a specialized formulation for the midface, helps restore facial definition for a more youthful look. And if you’ve been bothered by thinning lips, we can use JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC to restore fullness. Fuller lips can sometimes transform the look of your entire lower face.
Renuva®
Fat loss is another age-related change that can leave your face looking hollow and dull. Maybe you’ve noticed that the skin around your cheeks, chin, or jawline has begun to sag. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate whether the loss of volume is due to a reduction in subcutaneous fat – that is, the fat beneath your skin. If so, we may suggest Renuva®, a new and innovative choice for non-surgical facial rejuvenation that Ormond Beach residents can count on.
When injected beneath your skin, Renuva® essentially creates a matrix of proteins, over which your body can lay down new fat tissue. This regeneration process does take a little time, but it’s worth it! After just a few months, you should notice a marked increase in volume in treated areas. The results can last up to 10 years, making this one of the longest-lasting facial rejuvenation options on the market.
Renuva® is often used to address a loss of volume in the face, but it can also be used in the hands, the neck, and the earlobes. It is FDA-approved and has a long track record of safety with no downtime required for recovery.
CO2 Laser
Some of our clients with sun-damaged skin are turning to CO2 laser resurfacing in Ormond Beach. This procedure works well for patients who have multiple skin concerns like sagging, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. It can also be used to address some acne scars and lighten certain birthmarks.
CO2 laser resurfacing works by penetrating the skin to target problem areas without damaging the surrounding healthy skin. While the procedure can take up to two hours in some cases, it’s not painful, and recovery is relatively straightforward. At first, it may feel like your skin is sunburned. Before long, you’ll look younger and fresher than you have in years.
Which of these procedures is right for you? That depends on your particular skin concerns and goals. We can help you make an informed decision.
